Answer:

Option C, They allow random distribution of genetic material when a cell divides.

Explanation:

The chromatin are responsible for packaging of DNA molecule into smaller space with in a chromosome. It not only package it but also protect it from. Packaging allows for easier division of cells during mitosis and meiosis and hence prevent any kind of damage to the DNA.

Chromosomes make recombination and random segregation of genetic material to form new cells. Each new cell gets equal number of chromosomes

Hence, option C is correction
